Pre-Flight Checklist

Get in the short line, and sail through security time, plus updates on what you can and cannot bring through TSA checkpoints. Plan your airport arrival by knowing how to find out how long the lines are before you leave your house!

Eat cheap and healthy on the plane so that you have more dinero for diving into the local food when you are on the ground! Let’s face it, eating the ethnic cuisines in the cities and countries we visit is part of the vacation. But buying food on the fly can end up more expensive than the plane ticket!

How to act at an airport to speed your trip and avoid frustration. How to act on an airplane so the flight attendants want to bring you free drinks. How NOT to act on an airplane and ensure you never get free drinks. How your behavior on an airplane helps or hinders your safety and the safety of others.

A big part of travel fatigue is caused by sitting around airports. Ward off travel fatigue by using layovers to keep your body and mind sharp. Know where the power stations are and how long it will take you to get to the gate and catch that next flight!

As I travel, I’ll be trying out different smartphone apps and reviewing them, seeing how much time they save me, and how helpful they are in finding activities, services, food and retail in various airports.

If you don’t see what you need – tell me what you’d like to know, and I’ll write about it!
